Monthly Art Contest #25: Pokemon Trainers

It's easy to focus on the Pokemon, but what about the role we all take while playing the games? Thus, the artists were told to draw a trainer doing what it is they do. Are they a Pokemaniac on the search for the rarest Clefairy, or are they retired and prefer chilling with their pokemon around the house? Or something altogether different? Naturally, the artists didn't need to illustrate an existing training archetype, they had the full freedom to draw a trainer of their own design!
